SPORTS. Thomas Hurls Capably, Manush and Others Pound Ball as Peak Is Reached With 7-3 Win. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HICAGO, June 24—The Washington ball club, alone at the top of the American League after taking the third straight from the White Sox yesterday, 7 to 3, while the Yankees were | doing no better than an even break with the St. Louis Browns, aimed today to make a sweep of the Chicago series and make sure of remaining at the head of the procession. Hits still sprang from their bats with great frequency as the Nationals squelched thq Chisox in decisive fashion yesterday. They rammed safeties to all parts of the park and Heinie Manush drove one beyond the playing field. Al Thomas and Ted Lyons, buddies for years when both were | with the White Sox, were the pitching picks and Thomas, while he did not go the route as Lyons did, completely shaded his old pal. The White Sox nicked Al for two,Manush got but 44 hits. He has come hits and a run at the outset.

EW YORK, June 24.—The con- tinued heavy hitting of Heinie Manush and Joe Cronin of Washington dwarfed all other | batting performances in the major leagues in the last week, although sev- | eral National Leaguers showed notable gains. i In the seven days which ended with vesterday's games Manush drove out 21 | hits and Cronin 19 to gain places high in the batting list. Manush had an average of 354, while Cronin trailed him by only 10 points. In contrast, Al Simmons of Chicago, American League leader, made only nine | hits and fell off 13 points to .365, while | Ben Chapman of New York and Fred | Schulte of Washington were in the third and fourth notches.

Although Ossie Bluege of Washington was overlooked in the fan votes, he is the ball player’s choice for the position and also may be Mr. Mack’s nominee.

It is my opinion that Alvin Crow- der of Washington will be one of the American League pitchers. He has won 10 and lost 4 games this season after a poor start and is one of the best hot-weather hurlers in the business. Lefty Grove, of course, is a certainty and so is Wesley Perrell of Cleveland. Oral Hilde- brand, another Indian, is likely to be given a place, but if Gomez is omitted, the other position may fall to Marberry of Detroit. Since none of the pitchers will work more than three innings, Marberry would be an_outstanding selection.

OHEN HE MIXES W(TH ~ VAKX SHARKEY .. Another Difference. ARNERA,” I suggested to his directors, “took a meat pasting from Sharkey when they met before. This has given Sharkey a world of confidence for this second shot.” “Just a minute,” the chorus opened. “When Carnera met Sharkey before he had had just 83 rounds of actual fight- ing. He hardly knew what it was all | about. Since that fight he has had over | 200 rounds of ring experience with such fighting men as King Levinsky, Ernie Schaaf, Hans Birkie, Paulino Uzcudun and several others who know their way around. “Carnera then had nothing [13 and he knows what it is all about. He has had nearly 40 fights since he met Sharkey, and no one has even jarred him since. “Don’t forget, in that fight he got up off the floor and did pretty well for a raw, inexperienced novice, just out of the circus for a year or so. Don't forget that the Max Baer who took a bad beating from Tommy Loughran came back two years later to knock out Max Schmeling.” Some Comparisons. \HEY will tell you that size doesn’t count after one reaches 190 or 200 pounds. It ought to, if there is speed hooked to bulk. Carnera has the same physical mar- gin over Sharkey that Sharkey has over Tony Canzoneri. Most of the Italian’s sparring partners are just about Sharkey's size and you had the impression of a heavyweight meeting a flock of lightweights. - John Reed Kilpatrick, one of Yale’s greatest ends, is well over 6 feet, weigh- ing 220 pounds. Yet standing with Car- nera he looked small, not to say svelt. Carnera’s bulk won't count for so much over Sharkey as Sharkey’s bulk would count in a battle with Canzoneri. But it will count for something, as Carnera has about as much speed as Sharkey has. You can get tired punch- ing 262 pounds and you can also ab- sorb that weary feeling when 262 pounds begins to lean upon you in the clinches. They say “the bigger they are the ha ier they fall.” That’s true —whe:i they fall. Bowling Car- nera .ver as he looks today is quite zn assignment for two men, muc: less one. It can.be done, as there are no supermen after all, but that pair of feet and those oak-tree legs complete one of the strongest foundations any human being ever had under his bedy.

Washington now has pounded out 11 victories in 12 starts, has rolled up totals of 179 hits and 112 runs, never has dropped below 10 hits to the game and only once has fallen below seven runs. Yesterday's triumph was just another of the same sort. Al Thomas gave only six hits before he was lifted in the eighth, while his former roommate and close friend, Ted Lyons, gave up 16, six of them by the pace-setting swatters, Heinie Manush and Joe Cronin. Tm: Yanks again ran into the painful combination of weak pitching and fielding. Neither Herb Pennock nor Charley Ruffing could go the route and two errors helped give the Browns three runs in the eighth and the de- cision in the second game. A six-run outburst in the third and Babe Ruth's sixteenth homer were enough to win the opener. The Philadelphia Athletics, with Dib Willlams and Eric McNair acting like a whole ball team, placed themseives only a half game behind the third-place Cleveland club by walloping the In- dians, 8-4. Willlams and McNair hit a homer apiece and drove in all their team’s runs. The Boston Red Sox made it three out of four against Detroit by bunching their hits nicely off Schoolboy Rowe to win, 3-2 second-division clubs took all the play” in the National League. leaving the standing of the leaders unchanged. Home runs by Ernie Lom- bardi and Sparky Adams and Eppa Rixey’s six-hit pitching enabled the Cincinnati Reds to break a five-game losing streak with & 2-1 victory over the league-leading New York Giants. ‘The last-place Phillies assaulted Dizzy Dean for eight runs in the eighth and defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 9 to for their sixth straight triumph. lyn’s Dodgers finally solved Larry French’s southpaw delivery in the eighth and put on a five-run rally, topped by ‘Tony Cuccinello’s homer with the bases day off.
